That really depends in what you think ‘ownership’ is.
You can download offline installers and patches. But you can not use the assets of the game to create and sell a new game. You also cannot just create and sell other games heavily based on those games. Or use the music freely in YouTube videos with enabled commercials, and so on.
Not to say you’re wrong, but in that line of thinking we don’t really own anything. I bought a physical book but can’t reproduce it even if I rewrite it slightly. I bought a car, but I can’t reproduce it even if I had the means. I believe OP is asking about DRM.

You don’t fully own it.
Ownership of an individual copy is different from being the copyright holder, but that does not mean “you don’t fully own” your individual copy.
You also dont own your individual copy, just like with any other installer you merely have the license to use it which can be revoked anytime.
Stop parroting copyright cartel lies.
